Andrea is a California Motherlode Native and has been lucky enough to have spent most of her life in a region that people from all nations travel to for vacation, from far and wide.

She shares the stories of brilliant, legendary women who made their own way, in a time where women were not so welcome to do so. Known, but rarely heard of women, whose stories contributed to the shaping of the future of the United States, and Andrea wants you to know their names. Written, Narrated and Produced by Andrea Anderson. Male Narration by Slim Cessna. Theme song "In San Francisco Bay" by DBUK. Banjo picking by Col J. D. Wilkes.
